I'm sure that all these problems will be resolved in future weeks.
No, they had a weird glitch that looked like it was affecting the scores.

Like, the real-time scoring would read, "65-21", and the top score (score without penalties) would read that, and then there would no penalties, and then the final score would be "46-33" without explanation.

It was very strange and had I been the losing team on some of them, I would have raised the issue with the judges. For instance, we tied 296's alliance at one point 8-8 after they'd been leading us 55-8 in the real time scoring.

Oh, and 296 got screwed over on their only loss. They sight by the green light, and it didn't go on in autonomous. They have it on tape, and I saw it with my own eyes while it happened. However, rather than doing a field reset, the refs and judges merely said that it was impossible and that it couldn't have happened. Except for those anomalies, 296 would have been 9-0 at BAE.
